mongocxx::v_noabi::collection Class Reference

#include <mongocxx/v_noabi/mongocxx/collection.hpp>

Description

Class representing server side document groupings within a MongoDB database.

Collections do not require or enforce a schema and documents inside of a collection can have different fields. While not a requirement, typically documents in a collection have a similar shape or related purpose.

Example

// Connect and get a collection.
mongocxx::v_noabi::client mongo_client{mongocxx::v_noabi::uri{}};
auto coll = mongo_client["database"]["collection"];
